How Come The Israelis Complain About the Nazis and they Are Big Butchers of the Palestinians?

When the Palestinians will have their Holocaust museums?
International Criminal Court (ICC) Israel War Crimes
PARIS — A coalition of 350 European and Arab civil society organizations has filed a lawsuit with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against war crimes committed by the Israeli army during its latest onslaught on the Gaza Strip.
"The lawsuit is backed by all Palestinian political parties," Haitham Manaa, a coordinator for the International Coalition for Trying Israeli War Criminals, told IslamOnline.net.
He said the lawsuit, submitted to ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo Friday, accuses Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity during its 22-day military offensive against Gaza, a coastal enclave home to 1.6 million.
Established in 2002, the ICC prosecutes individuals for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Israeli troops killed more than 1,350 Palestinians, half of them women and children, and injured 5,450 in air, sea and land attacks against the densely-populated strip.

The massive bombardment has also wrecked havoc on Gaza's infrastructure, leaving thousands of homes, government buildings, schools, hospitals and even mosque in ruins.
Foreign and Arab doctors documented abnormal injuries suffered by the civilian population of Gaza, accusing Israel of using banned weapons.
Under international pressures, Israel admitted Saturday using white phosphorous, a chemical that burns away human flesh to the bone, in shelling Gaza.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have accused Israel of unlawful and discriminate attacks against Gaza civilians.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for holding Israelis responsible for attacks on UN buildings in Gaza.
War Criminals
Manaa said the international coalition will ask the UN General Assembly to establish a war crimes tribunal to try Israeli officials.
"A lawsuit will also be filed in Switzerland regarding Israel's violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention."
In 2005, reserve Major-General Doron Almog, the former head of Israeli forces in Gaza, was warned not to leave an El Al aircraft that landed in London after a tip-off that British police were about to arrest him on war crimes charges.
A British Muslim group had won an arrest warrant against him for breaching the Fourth Geneva Convention in the demolition of Gaza homes in 2002.
Fearing similar legal action, Israel's military censor has banned the publication of the identity of the unit leaders who took part in the deadly blitz in Gaza.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert also vowed on Sunday legal protection for Israeli troops against war crimes charges.
"The commanders and soldiers sent to Gaza need to know that they are completely safe from different tribunals and Israel will help and protect them."
Manaa said that the international coalition would also file lawsuits in European countries, whose legislation allow trial of war criminals.
"Lawsuits will also be filed against Israel in countries, whose property in Gaza have been destroyed such as Norway."
The coalition also plans a lawsuit in Belgian courts demanding the abolition of a European agreement to upgrade relations with Israel.
"The coalition is also mulling lawsuits against weapons firms providing Israel with arms.

George W Bush and the Destruction of Gaza the 22-Days War
With unreserved support from the Bush administration, Israel went to all extremes to inflict its updated version of the Holocaust on the Palestinians in Gaza. In more than 2,000 air strikes, the Israeli air force rained 1,000 tons of bombs and unknown thermal explosives, probably still in the testing stage, on Gaza's people and infrastructure. Its artillery, tanks and seaborne missiles pounded the Strip from all sides as its ground forces fought pitched battles with Palestinian resistance fighters. When Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced a unilateral ceasefire, half of Gaza City lay in ruins, reminiscent of Berlin in the final days of World War II. More than 1,200 people were killed and 5,300 injured, not taking into account those who may still be buried under the rubble. As the dust settled it turned out that the supposedly humane children and grandchildren of the victims of the Nazi Holocaust spared nothing: civilians were ordered by leaflets to abandon their homes and then were bombed in the shelters they took to, in UNRWA schools and other hiding places; schools, hospitals, medical centres, administrative government buildings, graveyards, fire engines, ambulances, men and mosques were uniformly bombed, killed or destroyed.

Middle East Envoy George Mitchell: Opens Gaza Crossings
January 29, 2009
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- George Mitchell, U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, called for Gaza border crossings to be opened.
Mitchell said during a news conference Thursday with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that a mechanism to allow the free flow of legal goods and keep out arms should be put in place in cooperation with the Palestinian Authority.
On Wednesday, Ehud Olmert said that Israel's opening of border crossings into Gaza are linked to progress in the case of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
The Israeli prime minister told Mitchell, who is in the region this week to push for Israeli-Palestinian peace, that the crossings will be open for humanitarian aid only until the issue is solved.
Mitchell said following his meeting with Olmert that converting the Gaza lull into a permanent cease-fire was "of critical importance."
Israeli President Shimon Peres, after meeting earlier with Mitchell, said that "I assure you, there is no contradiction between the stances of the United States and Israel. Both the United States and Israel want peace and believe that we must fight against terror, chiefly Hamas and Iran. We must fight terrorism and simultaneously advance peace. Israel will not allow Hamas to destroy the chances for peace, and we will work to cultivate the goodwill that is necessary to conclude a peace agreement with the Palestinians."

The Vatican Resists to be Pushed Around and Bullied by Jewish Groups
Vatican is unflinching on Holocaust-denier
Jens Falk / Newscom
“I believe there were no gas chambers,” Bishop Richard Williamson said in a recent interview.
The church says Bishop Richard Williamson's ideas have nothing to do with the pope's decision to return him to the fold.
This is an astounding departure," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "It violates all of the goodwill of Vatican II, where the church said that . . . the long history of hatred toward Jews, silence toward Jews during the Holocaust is a thing of the past."
In an interview broadcast on Swedish television days before the pope lifted his excommunication Saturday, Williamson said: "I believe that the historical evidence is hugely against 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed in gas chambers as a deliberate policy of Adolf Hitler. I believe there were no gas chambers."
He added: "I think that 200,000 to 300,000 Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps, but none of them by a gas chamber."

Crying Children of Gaza January 2009
PARIS — The International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday it had discovered “shocking” scenes — including small children next to their mothers’ corpses — when its representatives gained access for the first time to parts of Gaza battered by Israeli shelling. It accused Israel of failing to meet obligations to care for the wounded in areas of combat.
In response, the Israeli military did not comment directly on the allegation. In a statement, it accused Hamas, its foe in Gaza, of deliberately using “Palestinian civilians as human shields” and said the Israeli Army “works in close cooperation with international aid organizations during the fighting so that civilians can be provided with assistance.”
The Israeli military “in no way intentionally targets civilians and has demonstrated its willingness to abort operations to save civilian lives and to risk injury in order to assist innocent civilians,” the statement said, promising that “any serious allegation” would “need to be investigated properly, once such a complaint is received formally, within the constraints of the current military operation.”
In an unusually blunt criticism, the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross said it had been seeking access to shell-damaged areas in Zeitoun in the east of Gaza City since Saturday but the Israeli authorities granted permission only on Wednesday — the first day that Israel allowed a three-hour lull in the attacks on Gaza on humanitarian grounds.
The statement said a team of four Palestine Red Crescent ambulances accompanied by Red Cross representatives made its way to Zeitoun Wednesday where it “found four small children next to their dead mothers in one of the houses. They were too weak to stand up on their own. One man was also found alive, too weak to stand up. In all, there were at least 12 corpses lying on mattresses.”
In another house, the statement said, the rescue team “found 15 other survivors of this attack including several wounded. In yet another house, they found an additional three corpses. Israeli soldiers posted at a military position some 80 meters away from this house ordered the rescue team to leave the area which they refused to do. There were several other positions of the Israeli Defense Forces nearby as well as two tanks.”
Because of berms built by Israeli forces, the ambulances could not enter the area so “the children and the wounded had to be taken to the ambulances on a donkey cart,” the statement said.
The statement quoted Pierre Wettach, an International Red Cross representative for Israel and the Palestinian areas, as calling the incident “shocking.”
“The Israeli military must have been aware of the situation but did not assist the wounded. Neither did they make it possible for us or the Palestine Red Crescent to assist the wounded,” he was quoted as saying.
The statement said the international Red Cross “believes that in this instance the Israeli military failed to meet its obligation under international humanitarian law to care for and evacuate the wounded. It considers the delay in allowing rescue services access unacceptable.”

Israel Use of Phosphorus in Gaza Offensive
The weapon sticks to human skin and will burn through to the bone.
It can cause death or leave survivors with painful wounds which are slow to heal. Its ingestion or inhalation can also be fatal.
Army investigation
The UN said its headquarters were hit by three white phosphorus shells during the offensive, causing a fire destroying much of its aid supplies.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and foreign journalists who have gone into Gaza since the operation ended say they have found evidence of its use in crowded residential areas.
The Israeli army said on Wednesday it would investigate the allegations.
But Mr Palmor told the BBC that the probe had so far found no evidence to support the claims.
"Parts of the Gaza Strip are open battlefield and I'm not going to go into the specific circumstances of each and every incident because I haven't investigated and neither have you," he said.
"I will content myself with quoting the words of the ICRC, the International Red Cross.... that they have no evidence of illegal use of white phosphorus in Gaza. Total idiocy.
UN Schools in Gaza Total Destruction by the Savage Israeli Attacks
Schools in the Gaza Strip operated by the United Nations have reopened for the first time since the Israeli offensive against Hamas militants.
About 200,000 Palestinian children were expected to return to class.
In the later stages of the three-week conflict, many of the schools were used to shelter Palestinians whose homes were damaged or destroyed.
It follows a decision by Israel on Friday to lift a ban on UN and foreign aid workers entering the Gaza Strip.
The ban had been in place since early November when tensions mounted between Israel and Hamas as the end of a six-month ceasefire approached.
Aid agencies welcomed the lifting of the restrictions, but warned that the task ahead was "enormous", with vast amounts of building materials alone needed to help rebuild schools, hospitals, mosques, and homes.
CONFLICT IN FIGURES
More than 1,300 Palestinians killed
Thirteen Israelis killed
More than 4,000 buildings destroyed in Gaza, more than 20,000 severely damaged

Profile: Gaza Strip
After a visit to the Gaza Strip, the top UN official responsible for emergency relief and humanitarian affairs told the BBC that he was shocked by the scale of destruction.
Sir John Holmes said it would have "disturbing" repercussions for the people of Gaza - with any private economic activity in Gaza is "set back by years or decades".
A humanitarian appeal was launched by a number of UK charities on Thursday to raise money for aid relief in Gaza.
Thirty of the UN's 200 schools in Gaza were damaged during the conflict, UN spokesman Christopher Gunness said.
In one of the deadliest incidents, about 40 Palestinian civilians were killed while sheltering at the al-Fakhura school in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Initially, Israel accused Hamas of firing from the school and using civilians as "human shields", but later changed its defence, blaming a stray Israeli mortar instead.
The UN has called for an independent investigation and for criminal charges to follow if culpability is revealed.

Shadow of Death in Zeitoun, Gaza, 29 Members of One Family Lost Their Lives
Palestinian farmer Rafiq Samouni, 39, sat on the rubble of his house Monday, eating a sour orange. "We don't have any homes, we don't have any food--except these," he said, gesturing at the remains of an orange tree sticking up through chunks of concrete and piles of earth churned up by Israeli tanks. "And we don't have any relations." Twenty-nine members of the extended Samouni family, who lived in neighboring homes in the Zeitoun area of Gaza, were killed on the first morning of Israeli ground operations, Jan. 4, and nearly all of their homes were blown up by Israeli demolition teams, most of them completely flattened. Another 19 Zeitoun residents from other families perished as well; the last of those 48 corpses was recovered Monday, after lying there for two weeks until Israeli army units finally withdrew on Sunday. The smell of death was everywhere.
The surviving family members tell horrific stories of what happened to them at the hands of what several said was the Givati Brigade, one of the elite Israeli Defense Forces units spearheading the Gaza operation. More than 100 residents, they say, were ordered to gather in a single house, which the next day was shelled by tanks and bombed by aircraft; most of the Samouni family victims were found there.
A few doors away, a man who was huddled inside with his two wives and many of his 20 children, was shot by soldiers, who also killed his 4-year-old son, residents claimed. And in the street outside, witnesses said, another Samouni lay wounded and plasticuffed until he bled to death hours later, with no one allowed to help him. The International Committee of the Red Cross had been notified after the Jan. 4 incidents that there were wounded in Zeitoun, and on Jan. 8 took the unusual step of complaining publicly that the IDF delayed access to them. Red Cross officials described finding children clinging to dead or wounded parents in Zeitoun, two full days after the incidents took place.
Israeli Defense Force spokesperson Avital Leibovich said she had no knowledge of these specific incidents, but would look into them. "We had no intention whatsoever of targeting Palestinian civilians, so these stories about soldiers approaching a father and child and then shooting them seem to be incorrect, to put it diplomatically," she said. "Do you think we tell people to go into a house and then kill them deliberately?"
The churned-up landscape of the Samounis' corner of Zeitoun is unrecognizable as a community any longer. The mosque lies in ruins; long sheds for battery hens are a mass of twisted aluminum, and dead chickens lie everywhere. Orchards have been upended by tanks and bulldozers. There are only two houses standing intact, isolated amid the wreckage; both were apparently used as outposts for Israeli soldiers. The graffiti they left on the walls inside said much about their state of mind. One large peace symbol had three slogans written in Hebrew in its three compartments: "Death to Arabs," "War on Arabs--Sounds Good to Me", and "The Only Good Arab is a Dead Arab." On several bedroom walls, amid remains of soldiers' rations and discarded bedding, a large numeral 5 was drawn with wings--possibly a unit designation of some sort--and nearby, also in Hebrew, "I hate Arabs." Another soldier declared, "I'm a Russian", and, in bad English, "1 is down, 999,999 to go." There are a million Palestinian refugees in Gaza. Other Hebrew inscriptions invoked the names of former Jewish settlements in Gaza, which were closed by the Israeli government in 2005. There are many new immigrants in the Givati Brigade, who are mostly Russian-speaking, as well as religious Jews, known for their strong patriotism, and unlikely to question army policies.
The survivors of Zeitoun all insisted repeatedly that they were farmers with no connection to Hamas, and that their area had never been used to fire rockets. Nonetheless, for some reason the IDF on the first morning of the invasion surrounded the Samouni neighborhood at daybreak, with tanks and ground units, and according to survivors began firing into many of the buildings randomly. At the home of Attila Samouni, he had gathered his wives and children in the safest room. This account comes from his first wife, Zahwa, and his son Faraj, 22, who were interviewed separately--he at the scene, and she at a tenement she shares with 72 other refugees in Gaza City. About 6:30 a.m. on Jan. 4, Israeli soldiers kicked in the door and demanded in Hebrew that the owner come out of the room. Attila, 45, who spoke Hebrew, identified himself and emerged with his hands raised above his head. "He said, 'I am the owner, I have children, please don't shoot me,'" Faraj said. "They shot him again and again, 20 or 30 times, I don't know how many," said Zahwa. Then the soldiers began firing into the room as the others threw themselves to the floor, and tossed what Zahwa described as a "ball of fire" into the room, which then emitted large amounts of smoke--possibly a smoke grenade. Zahwa was wounded in the back, but suffered only graze wounds, as she huddled on top of her 15-month-old son Mohanad and her 4-year-old stepson Ahmed

Israel The Nazi Revenge Six Israeli Died Revenge 1,300 Gazan Palestinians Murdered
Israel the ultimate Nazi revenge. During the 23 days massive Israeli onslaught on the Gaza civilians more than 1300 Palestinians were killed and more than 5,000 severely wounded. More than 450 children including babies and toddlers were killed, more than 300 women were killed including mothers and female elderly.
Whole family clans were killed including 23 of same clan. UN schools were destroyed and inhabitants killed. Hospitals destroyed, mosques turned into rubbles, all neighbourhoods were turned into inferno.
This is very same like the Nazis revenge during WW II.
During all that George W Bush was enjoying the scene.

Israel War Crimes in Gaza
A child's shoe in a classroom at the UN school that was hit by an Israeli strike on January 17, 2009.
Could Israelis FacAs Israeli troops encircle Gaza City, their commanders are faced with a painful dilemma: How far must they advance into the deadly labyrinth of slums and refugee camps where Hamas militants await with booby-trapped houses and snipers? With each passing day, Israel's war against Hamas grows riskier and more punishing, with the gains appearing to diminish compared to the spiraling costs — to Israel's moral stature, to the lives of Palestinian civilians and to the world's hopes that an ancient conflict can ever be resolved. Ideally, in a war shaped by television images, Israelis would like a tableau of surrender: grimy Hamas commanders crawling from underground bunkers with their hands up. Instead, the deaths of at least 40 civilians taking shelter at a United Nations–run school north of Gaza City are more likely to become the dominant image of the war. Israeli politicians and generals know that the total elimination of Hamas' entrenched military command could take weeks; it might be altogether impossible. The more realistic outcome is an unsatisfactory, brokered truce that leaves Hamas wounded but alive and able to regenerate — and Israel only temporarily safe from attack.
Stirrings of a Peace Deal on Gaza?
Israel's Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, has promised a "war to the bitter end." But after 60 years of struggle to defend their existence against foreign threats and enemies within, many Israelis may be wondering, Where does that end lie? The threat posed by Hamas is only the most immediate of the many interlocking challenges facing Israel, some of which cast dark shadows over the long-term viability of a democratic Jewish state. The offensive in Gaza may degrade Hamas' ability to menace southern Israel with rocket fire, but, as with Israel's 2006 war against Hizballah, the application of force won't extinguish the militants' ideological fervor. The anti-Israeli anger swelling in the region has made it more difficult for Arab governments to join Israel in its efforts to deal with Iran, the patron of both Hamas and Hizballah and a state whose leaders have sworn to eliminate Israel and appear determined to acquire nuclear weapons.

Israel to open Gaza Strip crossing to journalists
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Gazans filled mosques for Friday prayers without fear of Israeli strikes for the first time since the war against Hamas ended, feeling a mixture of grief, shock and relief.
Israeli naval guns were largely silent after weeks of nonstop fire along the Palestinian territory's coast, as the cease-fire declared by both sides last weekend held.
Near two destroyed Gaza City mosques, men spread carpets on sandy ground to prepare for open-air prayers. In the main market of the Jebaliya refugee camp, large crowds shopped ahead of prayers and restaurants fired up huge vats with meat, cooking on wood fires because of a shortage of gas.

The Anti-Christ - Exposed! The 666 Exposed
http://the666exposed.webs.com/
This small section will go ahead to explain who I believe the beast in Revelations is:
THE ZIONIST STATE OF ISRAEL.
In no way is this website meant to insult anyone. It is purely in theological terms that this discussion is taking place. I am not insisting that this is the absolute truth, but neither the Orthodox, the Catholics, nor Baptists have offered a definitive answer yet as to who the 666 could be.
This expose started as a result of the conclusion that all three denominations (Orthodox, Catholics and Baptists) agree that Zionism is wrong. Theologically, it is wrong, and has no basis. Neither does Christian Zionism. With the exception of right wing Evangelical Christians, the majority of Christendom agrees that Jerusalem is in fact the Holy City we inherit by virtue of our faith and salvation in Christ. Not because we are descendants of Abraham, but rather, we are the adopted sons of the Living God.
Revelations Chapter 13: The Beast & The Dragon - 666
The Bible Passage will be highlighted in yellow.
Revelation Chapter 13
1And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea.
The Beast out of the Sea
And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
It is well known that crowns represents the status of a King. Israel, being a Kingdom - a spiritual Kingdom, had kings, from the old Testament: Saul, David, Solomon etc.. But now, these crowns are on the horns. Its as if it is a false king. The state of Israel, as it currently exists, is theologically incorrect because Israel is spiritual. To create it through zionism is like putting in place a president elected by men, not by God. Therefore, the horns is what holds the crowns - not the heads.
The passage tells us there are 10 horns. We know that the state of Israel has had so far 9 Presidents:

The Israeli Nazi Destruction of Gaza and Killing of Thousands Appalling
Rebuilding the Gaza Strip after Israel's three-week offensive will cost billions of dollars, the UN has warned.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been left homeless and 400,000 people still have no running water, it says.
Reports say UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is travelling to Gaza on Tuesday to inspect the damage.
A fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants is holding, allowing many Palestinians to return home to assess the damage.
Israel called a ceasefire on Saturday, saying it had met its war aims. Hamas later declared its own truce, with one of its leaders claiming a "great victory" over Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said he wants troops to leave Gaza "as quickly as possible" and some have already left.
Anonymous Israeli officials, quoted by Associated Press news agency, said the withdrawal would be completed before US President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration on Tuesday.
But analysts say big questions remain, such as who will police Gaza's southern border with Egypt and how much power Hamas still has.
Hamas has said it will hold fire for a week to give Israel time to withdraw its forces from the Gaza Strip.
Israel launched its offensive on 27 December to stop Hamas militants firing rockets into Israel.
Palestinian medical sources say at least 1,300 Palestinians were killed and 5,500 injured during the conflict. Thirteen Israelis were killed

No American Companiews Should Win Contract to Build Gaza
Saudi Arabia pledges $1 billion to rebuild Gaza.
It would absurd that any American company makes a penny in profits re-building Gaza. The American people 100% were rejoicing for the massacres of Palestinians. Proportionaly the number of Palestinians by the Israeli butcher was like 300,000 Americans get killed.
The American weaopns were used to destro Gaza. George W Bush was the devil who blesed the killing and destruction of Gazans.
So American companies making a penny re-building Gaza will be shocking and absurd.

Israel, Hamas Both Claim Victory After Cease-Fire in Gaza Strip
Jan. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Israel and Hamas are both claiming victory in the 22-day conflict in the Gaza Strip that left more than 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis dead.
Israeli officials declared they had succeeded in their main objective of limiting Hamas’s ability to fire rockets from Gaza into southern Israel. Hamas announced that sheer survival constituted success after the onslaught by sea, land and air by Israeli forces.

Gaza rescue Teams Find 100 Palestinian Bodies Under Gaza Rubbles
GAZA, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian medical rescue teams found on Sunday bodies of 100 Palestinians killed during the last three weeks of the Israeli military air and ground offensive on the Gaza Strip, said Gaza emergency chief Mo'aweya Hassanein.
Hassanein told reporters that the bodies were found under the rubbles of destroyed houses, mainly in southern, eastern and northern Gaza City and in northern Gaza Strip towns of Jabalia and Beit Lahia.
The death toll since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza in Dec. 27, has mounted to more than 1300 people killed and over than 5500 wounded, almost half of them were civilians, he said.
According to him, among the dead people, there are 418 children, 110 women, 120 men above 50 years old, 16 paramedics, four journalists, and five foreigners.
Hours after Israeli declared a unilateral cessation of fire, several Palestinian families returned back to their homes they fled during the Israeli military strikes and shelling, said witnesses in Gaza.
They added that hundreds went out to check the destruction caused by Israeli airstrikes and tanks shelling that targeted thousands of houses allover the Gaza Strip, while other people went to visit their wounded relatives in hospitals.
Official estimations of destruction in the Gaza Strip caused by the Israeli army forces said that 4000 houses were completely destroyed, while 20 thousand other houses were either badly or partially damaged.
The bodies of 95 Palestinians, including children, have so far been pulled from the rubble in northern Gaza, Palestinian medics say.
The bodies were pulled by rescue teams in the towns of Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya and Zeitoun after Israel declared a halt in its attacks on Gaza.
The exact number of children found in the rubble was not immediately available. Medics believe scores of bodies are still buried under the rubble.
Israel announced on Sunday a unilateral ceasefire after pounding Gaza non-stop for 22 days. This brings to over 1,300 the number of Palestinians killed in the offensive.
The Palestinians fired more rockets into Israel, in response to the continued shelling of Gaza with white phosphorus by Israeli forces on the 23rd day of the conflict.
Israeli military confirmed on Sunday that its aircraft attacked rocket launchers in northern Gaza Strip.
"We carried out a strike against a rocket launching squad in Beit Hanun," said an Israeli military spokesman. "It was the same squad that launched (rockets) into Sderot this morning."
The rocket attacks on Sderot caused damage but no casualties, Israeli media said
Gaza City - A 20-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli troops in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday, becoming the first fatality since Israel declared a unilateral ceasefire in the territory.
Maher Abu Rajila died after being shot in the chest as he was travelling in a vehicle near the town of Khan Yunis, close to the border crossing into Israel, medics said.
News of his death came shortly after emergency services said that 40 bodies had been recovered from rubble in northern Gaza, bringing the overall toll from Israel's 22-day offensive 1 245

Israel troops in the Gaza Strip were ordered to hold their fire early Sunday after Israel announced a unilateral cease-fire meant to end three devastating weeks of war against militants who have terrorized southern Israel with rocket barrages.But hours after the truce took hold, militants fired rocket salvoes into two Israeli communities, threatening to reignite the violence.

Venezuela, Bolivia Cut Israel Ties for Gaza
CARACAS/LA PAZ — Appalled by scenes of slain Palestinian children and women in the Gaza Strip, Venezuela and Bolivia have severed diplomatic relations with Israel. "The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in accordance with its vision of world peace, in solidarity and respect for human rights, has decided to definitively break diplomatic ties with Israel," the government said in a statement.
Caracas linked the decision to the "cruel persecution of the Palestinian people directed by Israeli authorities."
Earlier this month, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez expelled the Israeli ambassador, branding the ongoing onslaught, which killed more than 1095 people, nearly half of them civilians, a "holocaust".
Venezuela's latest decision came just a few hours after Bolivian President Evo Morales severed diplomatic relations with Israel.
"Considering these grave attacks against…humanity, Bolivia will stop having diplomatic relations with Israel," he told diplomats in the government palace.
An Israeli shell hit main UN compound in Gaza, wounding three employees, setting fire to a warehouse filled with tones of aid and leading the UNRWA to suspend operations.
An UNRWA spokesman said tens of millions of dollars worth of humanitarian aid had been destroyed in the blaze.
In southwestern Gaza, an Israeli strike hit the Al-Quds Hospital in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, leaving staff and patients trapped by Israeli fire in the neighborhood and part of the building was destroyed.
The Foreign Press Association on Thursday urged its members to boycott Israeli army photos and video footage to protest the shelling of a media building in Gaza City.
The two cameramen, who worked for Abu Dhabi television, were wounded when an Israeli strike hit a building in Gaza City housing several international and Arab media outlets, including Reuters Fox, Sky and Al-Arabiya.
State Terrorism
The Latin American heavyweights termed the deadly Israeli attacks as a state terrorism.
"Israeli repugnant attack on the civilian population is a perfect example of Israel's repeated use of state terrorism…(against) the weak and innocent: children, women and the elderly," the Venezuelan government said.
"It's a human catastrophe that is unraveling before the eyes of the entire world," it added.
"Israel has ignored, systematically, calls from the UN, violating in a repeated and shameless manner the resolutions approved by the overwhelming majority of their members and placing themselves ever more on the margin of international law."
Bolivia's Morales describe the Israeli onslaught as a "genocide," asserting that Israeli leaders must be brought to justice.
"(Shimon) Perez must also be charged…since he has done nothing to stop the criminal behavior of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his government but, on the contrary, has justified the criminal actions against the Palestinians in Gaza."
The Bolivian leader called for stripping the Israeli president from his 1994 Nobel Peace prize over the Gaza atrocities.
Peres, then Israeli foreign minister, shared the prestigious prize with late Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat and late Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.
An inte petition has been launched by Bahraini writers calling for stripping Peres from the peace prize.
"The crimes committed by the Israeli government affect peace and stability in the world," stressed Morales.

Israel Shells Gaza U.N. Warehouse, Hospital, News Bureaus January-15 2009
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Israeli military punched deeper into Gaza City on Thursday with a series of strikes that hit the United Nations' headquarters, a major hospital and the offices of international news media groups, even as Israeli leaders weighed an Egyptian initiative for ending the 20-day-old conflict.
For the second time in the offensive, Israel said it had killed a top Hamas political leader in the Gaza Strip. Late Thursday, an airstrike hit Said Siam, who served as interior minister when Hamas won elections to take control of the Palestinian Authority in 2006. On Jan. 1, Israeli forces killed Nizar Rayan, a top military strategist.
Israeli forces hit a Red Crescent hospital Thursday, and more than 100 staff members and patients were trapped as a blaze engulfed the administration building. However, the most spectacular strike came when Israeli forces fired on the U.N. compound in Gaza City, setting off a blaze that sent a pillar of charcoal-black smoke hundreds of feet into the sky.
The attacks coincided with visits to Jerusalem by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and Jakob Kellenberger, the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross. Both protested vigorously.
"It is unacceptable that wounded people receiving treatment in hospitals are put at risk," Kellenberger said.
Ban said Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak had apologized for the attack on the U.N. compound.
"The defense minister said to me it was a grave

Quantcast
mistake, and he took it very seriously," Ban said before meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to discuss U.N. efforts to end the fighting immediately.
Another strike hit several high-rise buildings, including one that houses the Reuters news offices.
Reuters had given the Israeli military the location of its office before the fighting broke out last month. On Thursday, as the Israeli forces moved in, Reuters staff members said, they called the Israeli military to remind it where they were.
Two minutes after the call, a shell hit the office, the Reuters staff said.
The Associated Press reported that gunfire struck its office in a separate building.
Thursday's attacks came as Israeli negotiator Amos Gilad met with Egyptian diplomats who are trying to broker an end to the fighting, which has claimed nearly 1,100 Palestinian lives.
While Hamas leaders say they back the Egyptian plan in principle, they haven't yet agreed to the details.
In addition to the Egyptian cease-fire proposal, Israel is seeking a side agreement with the United States for an expanded international effort to stop arms shipments from reaching Hamas, diplomats said.
In a sign the U.S.-Israeli agreement is close, Israel announced Livni would travel to Washington. The side agreement would make it easier for Israel to accept a cease-fire, and it represents the country's last chance to secure support from the outgoing Bush administration.
The diplomats said that under the draft agreement, the United States and Israel would share intelligence and cooperate to prevent weapons from reaching Egypt's side of the border with Gaza. Most of the weapons are thought to come overland across Egypt's Sinai peninsula, while some are smuggled by ship in the Mediterranean.
The diplomats spoke only on the condition of anonymity because the negotiations are ongoing.

Israel Pounds Gaza Crowded Hospital, UN Compound and Building Housing Media Organizations
Israel Pounds Gaza: Shells Crowded Hospital, UN Compound and Building Housing Media Organizations
The Israeli assault on Gaza is entering its thirteenth day. Some 700 Palestinians have been killed, with many thousands more wounded, and a humanitarian crisis is mounting. Ten Israelis have died, four by “friendly fire.” A ceasefire has not been reached, and the offensive continues. We host a debate between Martin Indyk, the former US ambassador to Israel and Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs during the Clinton administration, director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution and author of, Innocent Abroad: An Intimate Account of American Peace Diplomacy in the Middle East, and Norman Finkelstein, author of several books, including The Holocaust Industry, Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict and Beyond Chutzpah

Israel destroys UN offices, Food Stock in Gaza
GAZA CITY, Jan 15: Israel shelled the United Nations headquarters in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, engulfing the compound and a warehouse in fire, destroying thousands of pounds of food and humanitarian supplies intended for Palestinian refugees and triggering world condemnation and protests at the attack.
UN workers and Palestinian fire-fighters, some wearing bullet-proof jackets, struggled to douse the flames and pull bags of food aid from the debris after the attack.
In another air strike, Israel killed senior Hamas Interior Minister Said Siam along with his brother and son, Hamas said.
Separately, Israeli planes hit a UN school in another Gaza City neighbourhood, wounding 14 people who had sought sanctuary there, medics and fire-fighters said.
Said Siam was slain along with his brother and son in the Israeli air strike on his brother’s house north of Gaza City, Hamas said, as it vowed to avenge its leader’s death.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who is in the region to end Israel’s devastating offensive against Gaza, demanded a “full explanation” of the air strike on the UN HQ and said the Israeli defence minister told him there had been a “grave mistake.”
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the military fired artillery shells at the UN compound after Hamas militants opened fire from the location.
John Ging, director of UNRWA operations in Gaza who was in the compound at the time, dismissed the Israeli account as nonsense and said the attack at the compound caused a massive explosion, wounding three people.
France denounced the latest attacks.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the bombings this morning by the Israeli army of several hospitals and a building housing international media in Gaza city,” said French foreign ministry spokesman Eric Chevallier.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown condemned the violence on both sides.
“Today’s attack on the UN headquarters in Gaza is indefensible,” he said.
“The intensification of Israeli military action, and continued Hamas rocket attacks, reinforce the urgency of our call for an immediate ceasefire.”
EU’s Czech presidency said the Israeli attack on a UN compound was simply unacceptable, demanding that the Jewish state take measures to prevent any recurrence.
The EU presidency “condemns today’s strike on a building of UNRWA in Gaza City by Israeli artillery,” a statement said.
“The (EU) Presidency demands that Israel undertake measures to prevent any recurrence of this attack on civilian or humanitarian targets, which is simply unacceptable,” it added.
EU Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Louis Michel said: “It is unacceptable that the UN headquarters in Gaza has been struck by Israeli artillery fire.”
Greece strongly protested to Israel after its navy turned back a boat chartered by Greek activists to take medical aid to the Gaza Strip, the foreign ministry said.
The boat was carrying several tonnes of medical supplies.
In Strasbourg, the European Parliament denounced the Israeli blockade preventing aid from arriving in Gaza.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad strongly condemned the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and accused some Arab and Islamic states of complicity in the Israeli attacks.
Even as a top Israeli envoy went to Egypt to discuss a cease-fire proposal, the military pushed farther into Gaza in an apparent effort to step up pressure on Hamas. Ground forces thrust deep into a crowded neighbourhood for the first time, sending terrified residents fleeing for cover. Shells also struck a hospital, five high-rise apartment buildings and a building housing media outlets in Gaza City, injuring several journalists.
Despite fierce Israeli offensive, defiant Hamas militants continued to launch projectiles on Thursday, sending two long-range Grad missiles crashing into the southern Israeli city of Beersheva and wounding five people, medics said.—Agencies
